According to afflictionclothing.com, newly crowned WAMMA heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko will not be competing at the upcoming October 11th Affliction card. Emelianenko was originally slated to face Andrei Arlovski, but it appears that rumors of a lingering hand injury are true, forcing the cancellation of the fight. Instead, Josh Barnett will take Fedor's place and will now be facing Arlovski.

Vitor Belfort and Matt Lindland are also scheduled to face off on the same card. The event, titled "Affliction: Day of Reckoning" will take place at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Exclusive presale for Affliction customers begins this Wednesday, August 6th, and ends Saturday, August 9th.
